Abstract: A signal processing device including a first signal processing chain having a first output signal; a second signal processing chain comprising a second output signal with a higher accuracy than the first output signal; a controller configured to switch, based on a desired accuracy, whether to switch between the first and second signal processing chains as a path for an original input signal; and a modifier configured to modify the original input signal, the first output signal, or the second output signal to generate a modified input, a modified first output, or a modified second output signal when the controller switches between the first and second signal processing chains.

Abstract: A monolithically integrated signal processing circuit comprising a signal series branch connected between a signal input terminal and a signal output terminal; a reference potential terminal; a series capacitor inserted in serial manner in the signal series branch and having a parasitic capacitance acting like a capacitor that is connected between a first electrode of the series capacitor directed towards the signal input terminal and the reference voltage terminal; and a first parallel capacitor connected between the first electrode of the series capacitor and the reference potential terminal; with the first parallel capacitor being constituted at least in part by the parasitic capacitance.

Abstract: An analog-signal to square-wave-signal reshaping system for threshold-dependent reshaping of an analog input signal to a square wave signal; comprising an offset-inflicted reshaping circuit having a signal input adapted to be fed with the analog input signal, a reference input adapted to be fed with a reference voltage determining the reshaping threshold, and a signal output from which the square wave signal is available; an offset storage circuit connected to the signal input of the reshaping circuit and adapted to store a charging voltage corresponding to the offset voltage of the reshaping circuit, with this charging voltage being adapted to be superimposed on the analog input signal for offset compensation; a controllable switch circuit which in a first switching state takes no influence on the reshaping function of the reshaping circuit and, for the purpose of offset compensation, in a second switching state interrupts the reshaping operation of reshaping circuit and effects charging of the offset storag

Abstract: An electric circuit having a switchable feedback branch switchable between a first feedback state, in which the circuit arrangement has a frequency response that is stable with respect to an oscillation tendency, and a second feedback state, in which the circuit arrangement has a frequency response that is unstable with respect to an oscillation tendency. The circuit includes a switchable frequency response compensation circuit which during the first feedback state of the feedback branch can be controlled to an ineffective state and during the second feedback state of the feedback branch can be controlled to an effective state, and in the effective state causes such compensation of the frequency response of the circuit arrangement in the second feedback state that the circuit arrangement in the second feedback state remains stable with respect to an oscillation tendency.
